Requirements

Requires an API key from https://developer.forecast.io/

Only tested on kindle touch (k5) other kindles may work, let me know.

How it works

1. Fetches data from forecast.io
2. Draws font image with draw2d a vector golang drawing lib * We take advantage of a custom made icon font to render the icons smoothly.
3. Removes the transparent background from that image
4. Use pngcrush to set the bit depth to 4
5. Wipe and display the image with eips
